Long Slow Summer of Nesting

Aside from recently feeling the baby kick, and registering for everything under the Sun at Babies R. Us and Target, the only really big thing that has happned is an overwhelming need by both me and my wife to nest.

We've had the biggest part of the nursery done for a few months. Before that was done, though, we had to remove the 15 year old rug and replace it with shiny new wall to wall carpeting. We got the plush kind with a multi color hue; It's best for hiding puke stains.

Also in the baby's room I build a set of shelves into a nook. Since our house is a cape cod, a style of house known for having cubbe holes, small hiding places, eves, nooks and overhangs, there are plenty of places to choose to use for additional storage.

We also have been very busy at cleaning, re-cleaning, organizing and re-organizing everything in the house. That is especially useful when I want to find a screwdriver that was just there yesterday, only to find it was in a more useful hiding place. I guess I missed that meeting.

We are also putting on new garage doors, screen doors, and everything else imaginable that we can spend money on to make baby proud to come home to.
